I’m Just a Believer
Gazing at the morning skies,
Bible open, truth before my eyes.
Seeking wisdom, ancient and true,
Faith in Christ to carry me through.
Your Spirit whispers, calm and near,
A gentle voice that casts out fear.
Your Word’s a lamp to light my way,
Guiding me through each new day.
I’m just a Believer,
Living for Christ.
Trusting His mercy,
And walking in light.
I’m just a Believer,
Struggling each day.
But Jesus, my Savior,
Has shown me the way.
I don’t understand all the hate,
Violence, anger, fear at the gate.
Why can’t we live in brotherhood?
Touch the world with Christ for good?
He calls us now to love, not fight,
To shine His truth, to share His light.
Break every chain, the walls come down,
Till peace and mercy spread around.
I’m just a Believer,
Living for Christ.
Trusting His mercy,
And walking in light.
I’m just a Believer,
Struggling each day.
But Jesus, my Savior,
Has shown me the way.
Help me share Your Word with love,
Spirit guide me from above.
Give me courage, make me strong,
Help me lift Your Name in song.
Teach me boldness when I’m weak,
Your truth is all I long to speak.
With open hands and heart of flame,
I’ll praise forever Jesus’ name.
I’m just a Believer,
Living for Christ.
Trusting His mercy,
And walking in light.
I’m just a Believer,
Struggling each day.
But Jesus, my Savior,
Has shown me the way.
